Tunes are by Los Lonely Boys –
Nobody Else:
I can’t stand to be alone
Cause I go crazy when you’re gone
You’re the one that makes me whole
I pray you’ve known this all along
Everything is gonna be alright
I wanna be with you all of my life
I can’t wait to be alone
With you baby in my arms
Girl I need you here to hold
You know your love it shines like gold
Baby, every minute of the night
That I’m not with you I don’t feel right
Cause I only want to be with you
Baby and nobody else
Yes the only girl I see is you
Baby and nobody else
Solo yo no quiero estar
Sin tu carino y tu amor
No quiero vivir sin ti
En mis brazos te quiero asi
Tu eres la unica mujer
Te quiero en mi vida por tu querer
Yes I only want to be with you
Baby and nobody else
Yes the only girl I see is you
Baby and nobody else

Learning to Fly

Episode 21 – Finally legal in the States – takes you through some of our recent experiences in the Lifestyle and how we are still learning and growing, both as individuals and as a team. Many of our experiences as of late are forcing us to step outside of what is comfortable and into a more ‘fluid’ way of being. As Eleanor Roosevelt so wisely said, “That which gives light must endure the burning.” AND wow, have we felt the burn a few times. That’s okay. It’s life. We are far from perfect and are still learning to fly in the lifestyle.

This episode also pays a tiny homage to the Foo Fighters. While we (I) wanted to use “Learning to Fly”, we discovered upon investigation that that song was more about finding inspiration. AND we already have plenty of that! So instead….I am a NEW DAY RISING!! Enjoy! And please let us know what you think! :)

Times Like These
I am a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

In this extended episode we take you with us to our first “Swingercast” event in Seattle. You will meet several of the couples that we met, as well as hear a tale or two as we attend the first “Meet and Greet” (and how!) followed by a great Swing Adventure at Seattle’s New Horizons Swing Club!

**Show notes:
The editing was long and arduous due to the fact that we recorded many clips during the weekend itself. Apologies for a bit of redundancy as well as low audio quality on a couple of the clips.

Episode 16 is a bit of a frank discussion on a very recent letdown we experienced prior to Seattle! Ya, a little taste of reality before the REALLY FUN stuff hits the network!

Special thanks to John Mayer:

My Stupid Mouth

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said “well anyway…”
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what’s a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly, An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what JUST slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what’s a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I’m never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I’d rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I’m never speaking up again
Starting now… Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it’s all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

I’m never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I’d rather be a mystery
than she desert me

oh i’m never speaking up again
i’m never speaking up again
i’m never speaking up again
Starting now, starting now…

In Episode 15 we talk about finding compersion amongst friends, as well as lovers. Someone once said that it was the ‘Swingercast’ way, so we will give a BIG Shout-Out to John and Allie for trying to lead the masses down a well lit path.
It is a fun ride! Come along….

**Show Notes
Sparky apologizes for the Audio quality being a bit HAWT at times, especially on Polly’s mike.
Props out to the Dixie Chicks who help us all climb on board “The Sin Wagon”. Great tune!

Singing it Loud and Proud, sorta

In honour of Pride Week, we delve in to whether or not we should come ‘out’ to our friends and family, since this is who we are. We uncover some of the pros and the cons of admitting (out loud) that we are sexual beings and that we like to be able to freely express that part of our persona. This is just the way it is supposed to be. Free. Right?

Jack Johnson writes it best in Upside Down:
Who’s to say
What’s impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There’s no stopping curiosity

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I’ll find the things they say just can’t be found
I’ll share this love I find with everyone
We’ll sing and dance to Mother Nature’s songs
I don’t want this feeling to go away

Who’s to say
I can’t do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren’t always just what they seem

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I’ll find the things they say just can’t be found
I’ll share this love I find with everyone
We’ll sing and dance to Mother Nature’s songs
This world keeps spinning and there’s no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who’s to say what’s impossible and can’t be found
I don’t want this feeling to go away

Please don’t go away
Please don’t go away
Please don’t go away
Is this how it’s supposed to be
Is this how it’s supposed to be
